Pretty solid week for me. With the pack over I relaxed a bit with the rigid eating Got a faster run on Thursday with the Buffalo but in the process aggravated my left shin (posterior tiblia??). I was getting tired the last 3/4 mile and my form broke down a little on the rougher parts of the grass path especially with the slope/cant of the surface not in my left foots favor, but it was hard to slowdown when some friends slower their own run down to bring me home. I'm getting fit aerobically, and my pace per mile is only slowed by aches and pains in my right knee which has been an interesting development.

Pretty good second week. Got more miles in with lots of walking. I've noticed, and common sense tells me, I will not burn as many calories walking as running so my predicted weight loss each week may be closer to 3 lbs. than 4. This is fine as long as I think long term.

First week of reduced eating of 1700 calories. After a couple days I felt lots better, then I had 3 nights of less sleep which lead to more tireness w/ less calories but this was to be expected. I am sore from helping to move/work on Jason/Angella new house...tired but fun.

Friday - 2.6 miles/ 2 running...barefoot shoes
work on Jason/Angella new house in PM....up late, tired but fun

Saturday - 0 miles - helpng Jason move/work on house - tired - I think I ate too much today - not at home, no set meals, I did not plan well. This was my first day off in 68 days. Tom is right I must plan the calif. hiking trip for eating.

Totals: 41.1 miles/ 25.1 running
Weight - 225 lbs/ should have been lower but did not run much Friday/Saturday
